Oh, the hilarity of it all. :lamo Does Newsbusters actually believe this means something?


Even Liberal Pollsters Discover Significant Plurality of Americans See Pro-Obama Bias in Polling | NewsBusters.org

There’s that clichéd saying of “where’s there smoke, there’s fire.” Some in the media should have heeded that advice since a plurality of Americans sees a bias in the polling conducted between President Obama and Governor Romney. Oh, and, by the way, this information comes from a Daily Kos/SEIU poll, so it's hardly a right-wing source. Justin Sink of The Hill wrote today that:

some 42 percent of voters surveyed by Daily Kos and SEIU believe pollsters are manipulating their sample sizes to benefit the incumbent president, while 40 percent do not. An additional 18 percent said they were not sure. That's evidence that Republican claims that Democrats and minority voters are being oversampled in national polls could be resonating — and potentially undermining the momentum of the president's early lead. ....​

It means that the Kool Aide didn't work on 7% of the 47% so you better figure out who they are ASAP and send them back for another round of indoctrination.

What indoctrination are you speaking about? Did the pollsters poll themselves or did they poll other people? :lamo

This is not suprising at all. 42ish percent represent the core of the anti-Obama crowd. Look at the favorable unfavorable polls going back to the beginning of his term. Seldom does his unfavorable fall below 42%. So this same crowd that already has a passionate dislike for Obama will obviously not believe any poll that states he is winning or going to win. This doesn't fit within their reality so it must be biased.

Really? The pollsters get paid by people because they are accurate. Innaccurate pollsters don't get paid and don't survive. Just ask John Zogby.

You folks on the left really know how to take an off-the-cuff sarcastic comment and really grind it into the ground. Not everything everybody says is a secret code message of the other side which must be challenged in the name of the Anointed One. Really.
 
Re: Even Liberal Pollsters Discover Significant Plurality of Americans See Pro-Obama

Pollsters aren't allowed to lie about results. They give you ways to make sure they accurately take down your results. There are also less republicans than there are independents and democrats in USA. When you consider where the majority of these polls are taken, in less rural areas then yeah it may become slightly slanted.
